Sokoto Speaker Aminu Tambuwal has been declared winner of the primary election held at the state township stadium after a landslide victory against his co-contestants.. Speaker Waziri Tambuwal got 3,466 of the 3503 valid votes cast. His opponents Senator Umaru Dahiru Tambuwal got 23, Yusha’u Kebbe got 13, while Professor Lawal Bashar, Barrister Aliyu Sayinna and Senator Jibril Gada had no vote. Lagos Akinwunmi Ambode has emerged winner of the APC gubernatorial primary in Lagos State. He is the top man among the aspirants and the only man who visited all the local governments in Lagos. Tinubu is backing Akin Ambode, former accountant general in the state, Fashola preferred Supo Shasore, a former Attorney General and commissioner for Justice in the state. With this result, Tinubu is still the strong man
